4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD MOVIE, I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH WATCHING, March 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Scorpion Spring [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My friends and I rented this movie and we watched it together. We all agreed that this movie was pretty good. It wasn't fantastic, but we all throught it was worth watching. I am also a big Matthew McConaughey fan, so I was a little disappointed that he had a small role in this film. He plays the part of a bad guy, but you'll only see him during the last 20 minutes of the movie, but the film does have other great actors such as, RUBEN BLADES(who in real life is not only an actor but a song writer). He's the Border patrol agent that goes after the illegal aliens and drug smugglers. He's a very talented actor and turns his role as a Border patrol agent into a very real charactor. And let's not forget ESAI MORALES(the coyote and drug smuggler), who's a superb actor. He's well known for his roles in movies such as, "the Elian Gonzalez story", "Mi familia", "The principal" and "La bamba". I'm a really big fan of Esai morales and enjoyed watching him in this movie, which in my opinion was filled with suspense, drama and it gave me the sense of being in a small Arizona border town. I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to anyone..........

4.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, seems very like something that occurs for real., May 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Scorpion Spring [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I rented this movie while out with some friends. We watched it and all agreed it was great. We liked the area in which it was taped(desert, cactus, sand). It made it all seem very true to life. I liked the idea that this movie had well known and very professional actors. The movie is about two guys who are traveling, they run across two mexicans( a women and a man). They get entangled in a drug smuggling ring which only leads to more and more problems for these guys. The border patrol, the local Sheriff, the mexican police and the drug dealers all become involved. It's great. I recommend this movie to anyone. There's a little violence, but it doesn't contain any sex scenes, bloody battles or offensive language.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 MAYBE 4 STARS, GOOD MOVIE WITH GREAT ACTORS, March 27, 2001

By	Isabella Matthews (Baltimore) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scorpion Spring [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Watching this movie was a pleasant change from the far too common sex, violence and nudity that seems to be in all of todays movies. This movie can be watched by the entire family without having to make the little ones cover their eyes.

The movie is about a mexican drug dealer who comes into the Country with drugs and a female alien. It covers their journey and troubles with other drug dealers, border patrol and other law makers.

This movie is not the greatest, but it has great actors who portray their characters well.
